Present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group and record a 10–15 minute video reflection on your practicum experience, the development of your capstone project, and your personal and professional growth over the course of your RN-to-BSN program. Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Capella Academic Portal Volunteer Experience Form.

Baccalaureate-prepared nurses have many opportunities to reflect on their contributions to patient care outcomes during clinical experiences. Research suggests that creating and sharing video reflections may enhance learning (Speed, Lucarelli, & Macaulay, 2018).

For this assessment, you’ll present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group and reflect on various aspects of your capstone practicum experience. Such reflection will give you a chance to discuss elements of the project of which you are most proud and aspects of the experience that will help you grow in your personal practice and nursing career.

Complete this assessment in two parts: (a) present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group and (b) record a video reflection on your practicum experience, the development of your capstone project, and your personal and professional growth over the course of your RN-to-BSN program.

Part 1

Present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group. Plan to spend at least 3 practicum hours exploring these aspects of the problem with the patient, family, or group. During this time, you may also consult with subject matter and industry experts of your choice. Be sure you've logged all of your practicum hours in Capella Academic Portal.

The BSN Capstone Course (NURS-FPX4900 ) requires the completion and documentation of nine (9) practicum hours. All hours must be recorded in the Capella Academic Portal. Please review the
 BSN Practicum Campus page for more information and instructions on how to log your hours.

Use the 
Intervention Feedback Form: Assessment 5 [PDF]

Instructions:

For each Skill Report you can:

guidelines provided to complete same. The below case studies are a brief overview of a client
and you are free to interpret and expand upon the client history, background if you wish.

OR

2. Complete the assessment on a service user you have cared for during work placement or
family member/relative you have cared for in the home, whereby you have been involved in
assisting them with a recreational / therapeutic activity.

Case Study One

James Brown is a 75-year-old male who was admitted into the nursing home in January 2020. Previous
to this Mr Brown was in St Vincent’s hospital following a stroke where he spent six months. Following
the stroke Mr Brown now uses a rollator. He has no difficulties transferring himself and needs no
assistance. He is partially paralysed on the left side of his body, and sometimes his speech is a little
slurred. Mr Browns wife and son visited every few days. Prior to his retirement Mr Brown worked in
Dublin Dockyards and had a keen interest in swimming, hill walking and crossword puzzles.

Case Study Two

Alice Jones is 81 years old and was admitted to the residential home in 2019 from her home where
she lived with her husband. Alice was diagnosed with dementia in 2016, she is forgetful and has a
history of wandering and this increases her vulnerability. Unfortunately, Alice’s care needs could not
be met at home due to her dementia. This cognitive decline also impacts on her physical and social
ability as she requires support to maintain her daily activities of living. This includes personal care,
nutrition, safety, mobility and guidance.

Case Study Three

Mary Walsh is 74 years of age, she is a widow of ten years, she has one daughter and one son, her son
resides in Australia. Mary is currently residing in a nursing home and she has been diagnosed with
dementia and is in the early stages. As an effect Mary suffers from short term memory loss. Mary also
has restricted mobility as a result of a fall two years ago and suffered a fractured hip. Mary’s physical
ability all though restricted is quite good. Mary uses a rollator for short to medium distance and a
wheelchair for long distance or when going out, she has full mobility with her upper body and regularly
attends physiotherapy.

Case Study Four

Annie Smith is an 84-year-old lady who still very much enjoys the activities of daily living. Annie has
cognitive impairment and mobilises with the aid of a rollator; she also has arthritis and wears a hearing
aid in her right ear. Annie has a regular diet and fluids and has a good appetite. Annie takes a lot of
pride in her appearance and likes to wear nice clothes and to have her hair done. Annie is a widow;
she has no children but has led a very full and active life and was very engaged in social activities
throughout her life. Annie lived on her own for a number of years upon the death of her husband and
attended a day centre which she enjoyed greatly. It was noticed by the staff in the day centre and her
home care team that Annie was becoming more forgetful and confused and was leaving her home
and forgetting how to return. The difficulty in maintaining her safety in the home was one of the main
reasons that Annie entered the nursing home.

Root-Cause Analysis and Safety Improvement Plan

Your Name

School of Nursing and Health Sciences, Capella University

NURS4020: Improving Quality of Care and Patient Safety

Instructor Name

Month, Year

Root-Cause Analysis and Safety Improvement Plan

Introduce a general summary of the issue or sentinel event that the root-cause analysis (RCA) will be exploring. Provide a brief context for the setting in which the event took place. Keep this short and general. Explain to the reader what will be discussed in the paper and this should mimic the scoring guide/the headings.


Analysis of the Root Cause

Describe the issue or sentinel event for which the RCA is being conducted. Provide a clear and concise description of the problem that instigated the RCA. Your description should include information such as:

· What happened?

· Who detected the problem/event?

· Who did the problem/event affect?

· How did it affect them?

Provide an analysis of the event and relevant findings. Look to the media simulation, case study, professional experience, or another source of context that you used for the event you described. As you are conducting your analysis and focusing on one or more root causes for your issue or sentinel event, it may be useful to ask questions such as:

· What was supposed to occur?

· Were there any steps that were not taken or did not happen as intended?

· What environmental factors (controllable and uncontrollable) had an influence?

· What equipment or resource factors had an influence?

· What human errors or factors may have contributed?

· Which communication factors may have contributed?

These questions are just intended as a starting point. After analyzing the event, make sure you explicitly state one or more root causes that led to the issue or sentinel event.

Application of Evidence-Based Strategies

Identity best practices strategies to address the safety issue or sentinel event.

· Describe what the literature states about the factors that lead to the safety issue.

· For example, interruptions during medication administration increase the risk of medication errors by specifically stated data.

· Explain how the strategies could be addressed in safety issues or sentinel events.

Improvement Plan with Evidence-Based and Best-Practice Strategies

Provide a description of a safety improvement plan that could realistically be implemented within the health care setting in which your chosen issue or sentinel event took place. This plan should contain:

· Actions, new processes or policies, and/or professional development that will be undertaken to address one or more of the root causes.

· Support these recommendations with references from the literature or professional best practices.

· A description of the goals or desired outcomes of these actions.

· A rough timeline of development and implementation for the plan.

Existing Organizational Resources

Identify existing organizational personnel and/or resources that would help improve the implementation or outcomes of the plan.

· A brief note on resources that may need to be obtained for the success of the plan.

· Consider what existing resources may be leveraged to enhance the improvement plan?

Conclusion

References

Reference page should be double spaced throughout without extra spaces between entries.

Each reference page entry should be formatted according to APA 7 guidelines with a hanging indent as is seen here.
